so they won't admit responsibility for their faulty equipment causing fires and as such won't fix their faulty equipment instead they're just cutting power to all the poor areas

It seems like mother****ers cranking up generators and lighting candles would be just as risky. I don’t know anything about PG&E and how negligent they are but the wildfires aren’t going to stop as long as the earth keeps heating up and people keep spreading out into every nook and cranny of California. I like how rich people are even buying their own private fire department service.

it's an open secret that their badly maintained equipment caused the fire that wiped out the neighborhood next to me, but i know what you mean. the "ranch fire" earlier in 2018 was found to have been caused by a spark from a hammer. cal fire is on the radio practically begging people to just stay off the roads and lay low through the weekend.

Spark from hammer, metal stake caused Ranch fire in 2018, California’s largest wildfire

Quote:

California’s largest wildfire was ignited by a scattered spark or hot metal fragment formed when a Potter Valley rancher used a metal hammer last summer to drive a large metal stake into a yellow jacket nest on a dry, grassy slope on his Highway 20 ranch, Cal Fire said Thursday.

The result was the Ranch fire — a conflagration that consumed more than 641 square miles of landscape as it stormed into Lake County and the vast Mendocino National Forest, eventually reaching into Colusa and Glenn counties.

A Utah firefighter, Draper Fire Department Battalion Chief Matthew Burchett, lost his life fighting the blaze, which started July 27 and raged through remote countryside for a month. The rampaging fire destroyed or damaged 280 structures mostly north of Clear Lake, including 138 single-family homes and one multifamily residence, Cal Fire said.

Together with the 49,000-acre River fire, which began about an hour later near Hopland, the 410,203-acre inferno became known as the Mendocino Complex fire, one of several dozen incidents that would make 2018 the deadliest and most devastating wildfire season the state of California and the nation have ever seen.

The cause of the River fire has not yet been announced.

Really wet here. Raining most of the day and probably for the next two weeks.

Wanted to go hiking and take photos of the wildlife and stuff but not in this weather.

The good news is that I don't need to water my plants for a while.

June snow expected in western Wyoming mountains

Quote:

Snow is expected in the mountains of western Wyoming, including Yellowstone National Park, Friday night into Saturday. In addition, Sunday morning will likely bring low temperatures below freezing to some areas in the west.

In a winter weather briefing posted Friday evening, the National Weather Service in Riverton predicted three to seven inches of snow accumulation at the highest elevations, while other impacted areas will largely see two to four inches of snow.
